Hiya,
Does N26 in UK or in Europe does offer a GBP account?
Is this GBP account offered as second account for EU residents or only offered for people with UK residency?
Is GBP accounts offered in N26 /N26you/N26metal or N26 -business/N26 -business-you?
Tnx

I don’t know for sure whether those do, but I can say that TransferWise does.

GBP account that TransferWise provides is partially useless, i.e. you can’t receive SWIFT transfers.

Is that really an issue when a different “balance” can receive a SWIFT transfer, and then it can be converted to the GBP balance with a couple clicks?
I have not actually done this myself, so my underlying question is is it more complicated than it seems?

For having GBP account (with Local and SWIFT) and EUR simultaneously, I am using https://www.revolut.com/ as my daily use bank from Germany.

No, TransferWise GBP account ONLY supports incoming transfers in GBP.
Meaning if your client will send transfer in other currency it will be rejected/bounced back.
Best,

For personal daily use Revolut is ok, but apparently when you use it for business their compliance is kind of pain in the a…

But you can “open” a USD “balance” under the same login that can receive SWIFT payments in USD, then move the USD to your GBP balance.

Well yes, but try to explain to the client that although the fee for some service is X GBPs, you should send USDs instead.

I agree and know we have many news about them (: so maybe. But Are they providing the business account?
Actually I also have N26 account since they’ve started their business, but these days Im not a big fun of them. Actually I had a fraud on my card from them though they could manage the compensation.
